Heart Analyzer, an iPhone and Apple Watch app which gives you a better understanding of your heart rate rhythm, has pushed an extensive update on App Store with support for displaying electrocardiogram (ECG) information captured by Apple Watch Series 4.

Recording an electrocardiogram of your heart’s rhythm requires an Apple Watch Series 4 with the watchOS 5.1.2 update. This FDA-regulated feature is currently limited to the United States.

If you’re lucky enough to live in the US and own a Series 4, download the new Heart Analyzer 6.3 and get a better overview of your heart’s condition because it now features full support for displaying detailed content about your captured ECGs.

An extensive ECG update

Similar to the onboard process in the watchOS 5.1.2 software, this app provides a dedicated ECG section where you can learn about the most important aspects of your heart’s health and get a better understanding of the data.

All the ECG analytics features are free for all users of the app. If you don’t have Series 4, you can still view any stored ECG data in the Health app or in Heart Analyzer. Other changes include some color tweaks, a new preceding 7-day graph on the dashboard (select a day, it gives you an instant view to your average heart rate trends) and a pair of fixes:

Significant improvements to the sync engine to prevent some days not being sampled correctly on iPhone.

Addressed some issues that caused the watch app to not always install correctly, please make sure you update to the latest watchOS software to mitigate this.
